MCQ
The interval on which the function $f(x)=2 x^3+9 x^2+12 x-1$ is decreasing is
  • A
    $[-1, \infty)$
  • ✓
    $[-2,-1]$
  • C
    $(-\infty,-2]$
  • D
    $[-1,1]$
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
$[-2,-1]$
(b) : $f(x)=2 x^3+9 x^2+12 x-1$
$
f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^2+18 x+12=6\left(x^2+3 x+2\right)=6(x+2)(x+1)
$
For decreasing function, $f^{\prime}(x) \leq 0$
$
\begin{array}{l}
\therefore \quad 6(x+2)(x+1) \leq 0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad(x+2)(x+1) \leq 0 \Rightarrow-2 \leq x \leq-1
\end{array}
$
